Android Activations Double in Last 6 Months to 200 Million

by William D'Angelo, posted on 17 November 2011 / 914 Views

Google during its announcement of its new Google Music stated that Android device activations have hit 200 million worldwide. This is up from 100 million just six months ago. This equates to 16.67 million activated every month and 550,000 every day since May. This is up from 400,000 per day back in May. To put this into perspective there were 60,000 activations in January.

This is after a report released this week that Android based smartphone sales have outsold all other smartphones combined during the third quarter of 2011. The Android OS had sold a record 60.49 million for the quarter.

Take that...errr...everyone. @Joex2: Google lie? That article is confirming exactly what Google said. How's that a lie? All it's saying is that 550K activations per day iz failz because Google was projecting 1 million per day. Well, sure perhaps Google were getting ahead of themselves, but 550K per day isn't too shabby. @disolitude: I can see that happening. Actually could be Playstation 4, brought to you by Samsung and Android...with a Sony veneer.

TBH I do see a Google/Sony tie up being very possible.

? I'm almost sure you're kidding :) But in a sense it's not that far-fetched, as Microsoft has its hand picking in on some profits there.
